How to Make a Replacement Fiat Key
Fiat has reintroduced their classic cars and this is the best time to buy one. What happens should your key fob break?
Locksmiths can replace Fiat keys for you. Many people go to the dealer, but they're not required. We'll outline the details you'll need to provide to your locksmith on the phone.
Keys lost or stolen
Losing keys can be a big hassle and stressor. Depending on the frequency you lose your keys, it could be beneficial to have an extra key and store it somewhere safe. This way, in the event that you do lose your keys they can be replaced quickly and easily. You can also contact your local police department to report your keys and have them returned if found.
Many people assume that the only option for Fiat key replacement is to go to the dealership, but that is not the case. Locksmiths can assist with the procedure. They can also provide an alternative that is less expensive. These locksmiths can use information such as your VIN number and the unique codes that are on the key fob to create an entirely new key for you.
It is important to know the information you'll need to provide to locksmiths if you require to replace a Fiat vehicle key. They will want to know the year and model of your Fiat. They will also ask if you require a standard or remote key. In most cases, you can ask a locksmith via phone what kind of Fiat key is required.
Transponder Chips
Transponder chips are tiny circuits embedded in your keys and communicate with the immobilizer. When you turn the key into the ignition the chip transmits an ID code to the vehicle's Body Control Module (BCM). If the ID code matches that stored in the BCM memory the immobilizer will turn off and the engine will begin. If fiat 500 car key doesn't match, the security light will be lit and your car won't be able to start.
Transponders aren't invincible. Car thieves have developed methods to evade anti-theft systems over time. A spare key that has functioning transponders can help to stop this from happening.
We suggest calling us to get the price of the replacement of a key with a transponder that works. Make sure you have all the information that you require. We'll need the year in which your Fiat was built along with the model's name. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask! Our friendly and knowledgeable staff will be glad to assist you.
Smart Keys Keys
Smart keys aren't just a cool convenience but they also make it difficult for car thieves to steal your vehicle. Smart keys don't broadcast the same frequency as traditional key fobs. Instead, they send out different encrypted messages every time they open the door or remotely unlock the trunk. A computer in your car then recognizes the frequency shifts and only allows it to start if the correct key is compatible with the new signal.
BMW smart keys, for example, have a small LCD touchscreen that performs the same functions as a traditional key fob, like locking, unlocking, and keyless entry. However, they also allow users to save their own driver settings, turn off windows or sunroofs as well as tell your car to park itself. Smart keys are distinguished by these features.
Despite this additional layer of security, there are still ways for smart keys to be hacked. If someone in your vicinity is able to hear the low frequency transmissions sent between your smart device and your vehicle, they could gain access to your vehicle (or at the very least attempt to) by picking up on these signals while you're away from your vehicle for example, at the gas station or in a restaurant.
The good news is that the majority of smart keys have battery backups that be activated if the main battery dies. Additionally, many smart keys' batteries are easy to replace and usually don't require any tools.
